People often complain that Windows is getting bigger and bloated. In fact, this is almost the "Only Way" for any system or software. Even Linux is no exception, for example, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, which will be released soon, the conventional CD can no longer accommodate it.

One of the most common distribution methods of Ubuntu is to use a CD (in fact, you can also choose a DVD ). The standard capacity of this storage medium is 700 MB, but the default target capacity of Ubuntu 12.04 will reach 750 MB. Obviously, it cannot be engraved into a CD, but it can only be placed in a USB flash disk or a DVD.

At the Ubuntu developer summit in Orlando, a topic was to provide GB of DVD disc format for future releases to accommodate more and more software. In the end, developers did not rashly move forward, but chose 750 MB with caution, so that even a 1 GB small-capacity USB flash drive could put down the Ubuntu system image, it can also accommodate more GNOME3 and Unity components.

However, it is expected that with the passage of time, the extra 50 MB area may not be enough soon.
